Art Gallery of NSW

The Art Gallery of New South Wales acknowledges the traditional custodians of the Country on which it is located, the Gadigal of the Eora nation, and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. From its magnificent site in Sydney, the Art Gallery is one of Australia’s pre-eminent art museums and the state’s leading visual arts institution. Its mission is to serve the widest possible audience as a centre of excellence for the collection, preservation, documentation, interpretation and display of Australian and international art, and a forum for scholarship, art education and the exchange of ideas.

The transformation of the Art Gallery – now with two buildings, Naala Badu and Naala Nura, brings together art, architecture and landscape in spectacular new ways with dynamic galleries and seamless connections between indoor and outdoor spaces. Naala Badu is the most significant cultural development to open in Sydney in half a century and is a prominent new destination for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and culture.

See an extensive collection of Australian art, including one of the largest galleries of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art in the country, alongside European masters, Asian treasures and leading local and international contemporary art.

Enjoy refreshments in the restaurants or cafe, and pick up a unique gift from the Gallery Shop.

Visit on a Wednesday evening for Art After Hours and experience a slice of Sydney culture with free talks, workshops, music, performances, films and special events.

General admission to the Art Gallery is free, although charges may apply for some exhibitions.
